School History

St. Thomas' School opened in 1873 as two separate schools, an infant school and an elementary school. In November 2003 a new extension with 11 classrooms and a Nursery was added to the original building; in June 2004 the refurbishment of the original building was completed. Recently a further stage of expansion has been completed, adding four extra classrooms, a studio and a small group room. With the work completed the school has room for 60 children per year an increase of 15 on the previous admission.

As well as the classrooms there is an art and music studio, an Art/Design/Technology Room, large Library with new digital cataloguing system,a large Hall for collective worship, PE and sports lessons. In addition to the playground, there is also an all weather sports pitch.
